Janet, That’s even more fun when you can research in the actual places. My series takes place largely in 1934 so research trips are a bit more difficult. LOL
Thanks Carol!
This looks like a fun series!! It goes on my list.
(Posting for Janet who is having difficulty with it)
Carol, This series was a lot of fun researching and writing together. My husband and I visited the cities the books took place, where we found mountains of information to make the novels real. The 1950s was a great time to write about. We are sad to see the series end. Janet and Will
